Supporters angry over restraining order
By Jin Whang
Assistant City Editor
Members of the student support committee for the university's janitor and housing employees are making plans this semester to raise the issue of freedom of speech on campus because they are angry about being held to a restraining order against the unions.
Student supporters of the union protests were deemed as acting in concert with unions Local 11 and Local 399, who have been under a Los Angeles Superior Court temporary restraining order since May, 1996.
However, students in the support committee said the court order does not apply to student supporters.
Steve Sidawi, a graduate student majoring in geology and an active supporter of the unions, said the student support movement's inception last semester grew out of the students' own decisions to support the university's workers and their causes for
protest.
"We are entirely separate from the union,'' Sidawi said. "We are not agents or representatives of the, defendants in the restraining order, nor are we working in concert with them."
Sidawi said the committee plans to hold a public forum on campus regarding free speech and the issue of USC's treatment of workers.
"We are students who are supporting cam-
us janitors, housing and dining workers,
ecause we believe in the fair treatment of workers at our university, and we are critical of the university's employment practices,'' he said.
Sidawi is currently the acting president of USC's chapter of Frontlash, a national student support group for labor equality. President Luke Metzger, a junior majoring in political science and theater, is studying abroad in Kenya this semester.
The restraining order was filed by the uni-
versity against Local 11 and Local 399, two separate unions of the university's food service and janitorial employees. The court order sets specific guidelines on union activity on and surrounding the USC University Park campus.
The unions are not permitted to have more than 10 people in front of Hahn Plaza, more than five people in front of any other building on campus or more than 20 people at any one of the campus gate entrances to protest, hand out literature, picket or demonstrate against the university.
In addition, unions are required to submit a 24-hour advance notice for any of these activities to Bob Taylor, Deputy Chief at the Department of Public Safety.

Professor appointed to armed forces board
By Jason S. Grant
Staff Writer
USC professor of medicine Dr. L. Julian Haywood recently attended his first meeting on the Armed Forces Epidemiological Board of the United States Department of Defense.
Last fall, Haywood was named a member of the board that advises the armed forces on health care issues.
Haywood was enthusiastic over his new duties on the board.
"(The position) is a very prestigious and important activity," Haywood said. "I was flattered to be asked to fill a position that (is) so important."
Haywood's main duties will involve sitting on the sub-com-mittee on Wellness and Health Promotion. His duties will call for him to attend meetings three times a year to help investigate and formulate proposals to deal with serious health problems within the armed forces and their families.
Haywood, a professor of cardiology, has worked at USC on a federally funded project to
investigate sickle cell disease. He also conducts a cardiology clinic every Thursday at L.A. County/USC Hospital with his colleague, Dr. Robert A. Kloner.
"Dr. Haywood is a terrific clinician and a warm and caring individual with his patients, and (he) has been a delight to work with,'' said Kloner, a professor of medicine at USC. "I'm delighted that he was appointed to this position."
Ralph Jung, professor of clinical medicine and a colleague of Haywood, said Haywood is the rignt person for the position for many reasons, among them his identification with the African-American community.
"He's always been a strong advocate of minorities in medicine," Jung said. "Because of his expertise, he will make a strong contribution to the board."
Haywood's specialty is cardiovascular medicine, and he has been involved in clinical trials that investigate the effects of a drug called beta-blockers. The drug slows down the heart rate, allowing improved recovery among some heart attack vic-

Finance chair accused of plagiarism
By Courtney Adams
Staff Writer
A USC business school professor was asked to resign last week, after being accused of plagiarizing 50 pages of a 1982 finance book.
Dr. Alan Shapiro, chairman of the finance and business economics department, was accused of plagiarizing research in his book Multinational Financial Management., by an author of a book he reviewed.
"(We) first learned that parts of our book had been copied verbatim by Professor Shapiro when professors at several other universities called it to our attention," said Dr. David Eiteman in a letter he coauthored to the Committee to Preserve Academic Freedom. The letter said Shapiro plagiarized from Eiteman's 1979 book
Multinational Business Finance.
"We were surprised (by the plagiarism)... Professor Shapiro had been a reviewer for our second edition manuscript before it was sent to the publisher and so had access to our material before it was published," said Eiteman, professor emeritus of the Anderson School at UCLA. "At no time did we ever give Professor Shapiro permission to copy from our book."
Tne Committee to Preserve Academic Freedom, an independent group which has notified business school dean Randolph Westerfield of the alleged plagiarism, asked Shapiro to resign.
"Questionable ethical conduct by Dr. Alan C. Shapiro raised serious questions about Dr. Shapiro's ethical fitness and suitability to lead the USC Finance Department to the upper levels of national promi-
nence," the committee said in a letter to the USC community.
In another letter sent to 130 business school faculty members, the committee said, "On file with Dean Westerfield is a 50-page dossier showing many side by side examples of comparable material from both books; material much too similar to be there accidentally."
Shapiro did not return repeated phone calls and e-mail messages. His teaching status at the university remains unchanged.
"We do not respond to anonymous letters," said Deputy Dean of Faculty Bert Steece regarding the committee's letter.
"The letter has to be from a specific person addressed to a specific person," Steece. said. "The person (who believes their work has been plagiarized) has the right to go to (his or her) publisher and make a claim,

then notify the university."
Dean Westerfield declined to comment.
"(Shapiro) has written well, that's why the university is keeping him. But now, I wonder if any of Shapiro's work is his
